D.0 Adjournment PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION MEMORANDUM From Office of Planning and Development Date: 1-15-2015 Subject: Agenda Item No. C.1 ZC 2015-02 Public Hearing and consideration of a request from Greg & Tina Clifton for a Zoning Change from "R-2" Single Family to "R-1-S" Special Single Family on 2.79 acres located at 7221 Eden Road Presenter: John Pitstick, Director of Planning & Development CASE SUMMARY: Greg and Tina Clifton are requesting approval of a zoning change from "R-2" Single Family to "R-1-S" Special Single Family for their 2.79-acre property at 7221 Eden Road. This R-1-S request is being made to utilize an existing 1,600 square foot barn with one horse and one cow on the property. A new home is also being constructed on the property. EXISTING SITE CONDITIONS: A 2,390 square foot residence built in 1964 has been demolished and a new home is under construction. An accessory/barn building of approximately 1,600 square feet will remain on the property. PLATTING STATUS: The property was recently platted as Lot 2, Block 1, Bannister Estates. EXISTING ZONING: The property was recently zoned from "AG" Agricultural to "R2" residential. This new request is a result of direction from City Council to seek R-1-S zoning to bring the existing barn and proposed livestock into conformance. PROPOSED ZONING: "R-1-S" Special Single Family. The R-1-S zoning district requires a minimum of one acre in area and allows for the keeping of livestock in a residential setting. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Comprehensive Plan depicts "Low Density Residential" for this area. This request is consistent with the low density category, but should be considered as a special consideration for rural zoning outside of designated rural preservation areas. SURROUNDING ZONING / LAND USE: North: R-2 Single Family Residential / Low Density Residential South: AG Agricultural / Low Density Residential East: R-2 Single Family Residential / Low Density Residential West: R-2 Single Family Residential / Low Density Residential THOROUGHFARE PLAN: The property has 140 feet of frontage on Eden Road, which is classified as a "C4U" 4-lane undivided collector with 68-feet of right-of-way. Approximately 18 feet of right-of-way is being dedicated by the Final Plat to accommodate future pavement and utilities along that frontage. SPECIAL CONSIDERATION FOR RURAL ZONING: This zoning request is being brought back as a new request for R-1-S following a recent approval from Agricultural to R2 in order to allow the continued use of an existing barn with livestock. Directly north of this site is the ongoing residential subdivision of Harmon Farms. The developer has stated that originally they were considering this property and the property directly south as part of the Harmon Farms subdivision but were unable to acquire and plat the property. This request meets the Comprehensive Plan standards as low density residential use, but does not fall into recently designated areas for rural preservation (Little Ranch/Meadow and Valley/Continental). For this reason this request should be considered a special circumstance outside of generally designated rural areas as a property not likely to subdivide. AGRICULTURAL RESTRICTIONS: The R-1-S zoning does allow for livestock but is restricted in the Animal regulations to the following: Section 14-441 Enclosures "It shall be unlawful for any person to keep any horse, cow, cattle, sheep, or goats within 100 feet of another resident or occupied building . . ." Section 14-442 Number of agricultural animals in AG and R-1-S "The housing, boarding, breeding, training, harboring, or keeping of agricultural animals such as horses, cows, cattle, sheep, fowl, or goats shall be for the first acre and one for every full acre thereafter." Mr. Clifton intends only to keep one quarter horse and one char lay heifer which would be allowed as two livestock within a 2.7 acre parcel. However, as further R2 homes are constructed in the Harmon Farms subdivision the livestock will be required to be kept at least 100 feet from adjacent homes. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Approval of ZC 2015-02.

Presenter: John Pitstick, Director of Planning & Development CASE SUMMARY: NRH-Tarrant Properties, LLC is requesting approval of an Amended Plat for Harmon Farms for the purpose of adding and reflecting various drainage and utility easements. Harmon Farms is a subdivision of 28 residential lots and 2 open space lots on 9.998 acres on the west side of Eden Road between Hightower Drive and Rumfield Road. CASE DESCRIPTION: In the course of installing the infrastructure for Harmon Farms, Oncor Electric Delivery and the City of North Richland Hills have requested additional easements from the developer for utilities and drainage. Some of those easements have already been filed under separate instrument and others are being dedicated by this plat. The City and the developer wanted an Amended Plat to reflect all the various easement additions. No changes are made to any lot lines. One other change that is reflected is the Zoning Board of Adjustment's approval of a reduced sideyard setback on Lot 12, Block 1. EXISTING SITE CONDITIONS: The development is nearing substantial completion with streets, utilities, drainage, etc. already in place. PLATTING STATUS: The Final Plat for Harmon Farms was approved by City Council on March 3, 2014 and filed with the County Clerk on September 9, 2014. EXISTING ZONING: "R-2" Single Family Residential. The R-2 zoning was approved by City Council on August 26, 2013. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Comprehensive Plan depicts "Low Density Residential" for this area. The Low Density Residential Land Use provides for traditional, low- density, single-family detached dwelling units. THOROUGHFARE PLAN: The subdivision has access and frontage to Eden Road, a planned "C4U" 4-lane undivided collector street with 68 feet of ultimate right-of-way. Adequate right-of-way has already been dedicated by the Final Plat but is reflected on this Amending Plat as well. SURROUNDING ZONING / LAND USE: North: R-1 Single Family / Low Density Residential South: AG Agricultural / Low Density Residential East: R-1 & R-2 Single Family/ Low Density Residential West: R-2 Single Family / Low Density Residential ROUGH PROPORTIONALITY DETERMINATION: The Rough Proportionality Determination that was previously provided to the applicant through the Final Plat (FP 2013-11) still applies. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Approval of AP 2015-01.

Sandlin for a Replat of Lot 2R1, Block 1, Davis-North Tarrant Parkway Addition located at 8350 Davis Boulevard. Presenter: Clayton Comstock, Senior Planner CASE SUMMARY: William A. Sandlin is requesting approval of a replat of 14.34 acres at the southeast corner of Davis Boulevard and North Tarrant Parkway. The replat would subdivide one "C-1" Commercial lot into five pad site lots along Davis Blvd of 1- to 2-acres each and one larger lot of 7.66 acres. The primary purpose of the plat is to establish drainage, utility and access easements so that vital infrastructure can begin to be installed and the property prepared for development. With the recent market popularity of this retail node at Davis & North Tarrant Parkway, the owner/developer anticipates additional development on their property in the near future. CURRENT PLATTING: The property is currently platted as Lot 2R1, Block 1, Davis- North Tarrant Parkway Addition. That plat was approved by City Council on January 13, 2014. CURRENT ZONING: "C-1" Commercial COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: "Retail." The existing zoning and proposed lot configuration would support such uses. THOROUGHFARE PLAN: The lot has frontage on both Davis Boulevard and North Tarrant Parkway. Davis Boulevard is designated as a P6D 6-lane divided arterial with 120 foot of right-of-way. North Tarrant Parkway is also designated as a P6D, with 200 feet of right-of-way. Adequate right-of-way exists along both frontages. ROUGH PROPORTIONALITY: The developer will be responsible for 100% of all paving, water, sanitary sewer, and drainage infrastructure needed to support the development in accordance with the City's design criteria. DRC REVIEW ATTACHED: Because of the holidays, the applicant has not had sufficient time to respond to the Development Review Committee's comments. The majority of DRC's comments, however, are minor and inconsequential to the location of lot lines and easements. The applicant has indicated that the revisions will be made prior to the Planning & Zoning Commission. In case the revisions are not submitted, staff has included the DRC Review and asks that P&Z's motion for approval include DRC's review. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Approval of replat request RP 2015-01 subject to DRC's review comments if not already addressed.

These comments are to be used in revising the above application. By city policy, all of the following numbered comments must be addressed prior to this case receiving approval from the Development Review Committee. 1. This replat will be placed on the January 15 Planning & Zoning Commission agenda and either the January 26 of February 9 City Council agenda for approval. Please make the necessary corrections as soon as possible and resubmit. 2. Retitle the plat as a Replat, not Final Plat. 3. Provide the City case number in the space provided: RP 2015-01. 4. Pursuant to Sec. 212.014 of the Texas Local Government Code, provide an additional note stating that "This replat does not amend or remove any covenants or restrictions." 5. Need to add NAD 83 State Plane (GRID, not surface) coordinates 6. Use the attached plats to provide more detail on adjacent platted properties regarding easements that abut, connect or terminate to this property. 7. Revise the reference to Lot 16, Block 2 and Lot 1, Block 6 to the plat attached filed in Cab. A, Slide 4748 and reflect the easements contained thereon. 8. Reflect the filed Final Plat for North Tarrant Marketplace to the east (filed as Inst. No. D214062521 on 4/1/2014) 9. Remove the "C-1" Commercial zoning designation from all the lots on the plat graphic. 10. Per the conversations with the property owner, please extend a minimum 24-foot common access easement abutting the southern boundary of Lot 2R2, Block 1, Davis-North Tarrant Parkway Addition and stubbing/terminating into the southwest corner of Lot 11, Block 1, North Tarrant Marketplace. 11. Provide 15'x50' sight visibility easements where firelane/access easements intersect public streets. 12. Label the Point of Beginning on the plat graphic. 13. Regarding the metes & bounds description: a. the first call makes reference to the adjacent Thornbridge Phase V plat filed for that corner. This is not the most recent plat. Please revise the reference to the plat filed under Cab. A, Slide 4748. b. Multiple references found to "Lot 2, Block 1" of this same subdivision. This must be updated to "Lot 2R1" c. Correct the discrepancy between the bearing on the plat graphic and the bearing in the metes and bounds description for the north/south property line between Lot 2R2 and the new Lot 2R8. 14. Per zoning code, the commercial building setback from residential zoning is 35 feet. Correct the building line along the southern property boundary from 25 feet to 35 feet. 15. Informational Comment: The 40-foot firelane, access, sidewalk, drainage, water and sewer easement along Davis Blvd is setback 25 feet from the right-of-way. With parking stalls and the required 15-foot landscape setback, the actual 24-foot firelane will be 33 feet setback from the ROW. As this easement is 40 foot (oversized), flexibility exists in its location. 16. Regarding Sheet 2 of 2, the Development Review Committee does not see the need to separate the two sheets. Combine the sheets and use formatting, smaller text size and lighter shading to on those easements to be abandoned to avoid label clutter. a. Remove all "To be" text from "To he abandoned by this plat" b. If two separate sheets are continued to be proposed, remove or clarify the note at the top left corner. Plat: 1. How is the easement clip being dedicated on Lot 1? This lot is not part of the plat, but the proposed water main crosses through this corner. 2. Define / label the portion of the drainage and sanitary sewer easement which connects the 40' drainage and sewer easement along the south side of lot 2R8 to the proposed 50' firelane, etc. easement along the rear of lots 2R3-2R6. This portion is not 40' wide, so the previous label does not seem to apply. Plans- C4.1- DA-4, DA-6A and DA-613 are all intended to drain to the west with full site development. Until that time, based on the proposed grading, they will drain to the south and east to the proposed drop inlets. To accommodate this interim condition, indicate the maximum allowable flow to each of the three drop inlets. These plans will be referred to in the future when the remainder of the site develops, and we need for the ultimate drainage design to be clear to anyone who sees the plans. I think a plan note acknowledging this temporary condition is warranted, stating that the flow is allowed to the drop inlets only while these drainage areas are impervious. C4.2: There is an empty revision cloud on this sheet. C6.1, C6.2: The proposed water service callouts say `8" WATER'. Please clarify the size of the proposed water service lines (I would assume a 2" service would be sufficient). C6.4: There is a manhole on the profile not tied into the pipe flowline. C6.1, C6.3: For the 6" sanitary sewer services, place the service flowline at least 8" above the manhole flowline. These services are private, and this helps to be able to differentiate services from mains during maintenance. Also label these stub outs as "private" on the plans. The City of North Richland Hills Development Review Committee (DRC) reviewed the case listed above on 01/09/2015 and had the aforementioned comments. All comments must be addressed before this case will be certified by the DRC. Please correct the items listed in the attached comments and resubmit the following at your earliest convenience: 1. Three (3) corrected, folded blackline prints of each sheet. 24" X 36" folded to 9" X 12". 2. One (1) 11"X17" reduction of all plans submitted 3. Full-size digital files of all plans submitted, in PDF, JPEG or TIF format on a CD or sent via email. Must be at a resolution that is clearly legible when magnified for review. 4. A list of all comments provided herein and the applicant's written response. The DRC generally needs one to two weeks to review the corrected prints, at which time either comments will be sent to you again or the case will be certified by the DRC. If you have any questions or need additional information, feel free to contact any member of the DRC. If you need information on the review process, time frames, or submission requirements, please contact Chad VanSteenberg, Assistant Planner, at 817-427-6337. PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION MEMORANDUM From Office of Planning and Development Date: 1-15-2015 Subject: Agenda Item No. CA FP 2015-01 Consideration of a request from Pulte Homes of Texas, L.P. for a Final Plat of the Reserve at Forest Glenn; being 74 Lots on 28.94 acres located at the northeast corner of Smithfield Road and Bursey Road. Presenter: Clayton Comstock, Senior Planner CASE SUMMARY: Pulte Homes of Texas, L.P. is requesting approval of a Final Plat for the Reserve at Little Bear Creek, a 74-lot "R-2" residential subdivision on 28.94 acres at the northeast corner of Smithfield Road and Bursey Road. CASE DETAILS: Twenty (20) of the 74 lots (27%) are planned to be between 9,000 and 9,100 square feet; 19 (25%) are planned to be greater than 13,000 square feet; and the remaining 35 lots (47%) will be between 9,100 and 13,000 square feet. 3.3 acres of open space is also provided with this development, or 11.4% of the gross area. Much of this open space is located within the open drainage channel. The developer is required to improve the drainage channel with a concrete pilot channel and retaining walls pursuant to the City Image Study. Other open space areas include landscape and screening wall buffers along Bursey and Smithfield as well as a few entry-feature areas into the neighborhood. EXISTING SITE CONDITIONS: The property is currently undeveloped; however some of the last remnants of the old Green Valley Raceway—specifically the middle of the raceway—are visible and will be developed over by this subdivision. An unimproved drainage channel that was created for the surrounding Forest Glenn subdivision in the early 2000s also cuts across this property. PLATTING STATUS: Unplatted and described as Tracts 1A1A1 and 1A2 of the Alexander Hood Survey, Abstract No. 683 and Tracts 2A3A3A and 2A7 of the S. Richardson Survey, Abstract No. 1266. The Preliminary Plat for this subdivision was approved by the Planning & Zoning Commission on August 7, 2014. EXISTING ZONING: "R-2" Single Family Residential. SURROUNDING ZONING / LAND USE: The property is surrounded on all sides by "R- 2" zoning and "Low Density Residential" land use designation. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Comprehensive Plan depicts "Low Density Residential" for this area. The Low Density Residential Land Use provides for traditional, low-density, single-family detached dwelling units. THOROUGHFARE PLAN: The subdivision will have access onto Smithfield Road and Bursey Road. Both roads in this area are fully developed and classified as "C4U" 4-lane undivided collectors with 68 feet of right-of-way and a design speed of 30-40 MPH and school zone of 20 MPH (Green Valley Elementary School). No additional right-of-way is required from this property for either Smithfield or Bursey Road. A sidewalk exists along Smithfield Road, but this development will also be installing a sidewalk along Bursey Road as well. ROUGH PROPORTIONALITY DETERMINATION: The developer will be responsible for 100% of all paving, water, sanitary sewer, and drainage infrastructure needed to support the development in accordance with the City's design criteria. This includes some minor drainage improvements within the existing outfall ditch which bisects the tract. The channel improvements will consist of installing a pilot channel and terracing the side slopes to comply with the City Image Study. The above determination of proportionality is made pursuant to Section 212.904, Texas Local Government Code by the undersigned professional engineer in the employ of the City of North Richland Hills, licensed by the State of Texas. WATERCOURSE MAINTENANCE AGREEMENT: A Watercourse Maintenance Agreement will accompany the Final Plat to City Council for consideration. The purpose of such agreement is to establish who is responsible for maintaining the open drainage channel and to what level of maintenance. STAFF REVIEW & RECOMMENDATION: The proposed Final Plat is consistent with the approved Preliminary Plat and meets all applicable zoning and subdivision requirements.
